About this car

This 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa presents a compelling example of the air-cooled era, finished in Zenith Blue Metallic with a Classic Grey interior and showing 68,301 miles. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car delivers the signature driving experience that defines the 911 lineage.

The Targa configuration combines the open-air appeal of a convertible with the structural rigidity of a coupe, featuring the distinctive removable roof panel and wide rear glass. With a curb weight kept low and a naturally aspirated H6 producing strong mid-range pull, this Carrera Targa offers engaging performance on both back roads and open highways, returning 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

Equipment includes four standard seating positions, a manual gearbox, and the classic Porsche proportions measuring 167.7 inches in length. The Zenith Blue Metallic finish and Classic Grey cabin create a refined yet sporting appearance that remains timeless.

Combustion

The Porsche 911 (992) is the eighth generation of the iconic 911 sports car, introduced in 2019 and still in production as of 2023. Manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany, Porsche has produced over 100,000 units across various trims, though exact figures for specific models remain undisclosed by the company. The 992 is available in multiple variants, including the Carrera, Turbo, and GT3, with engines ranging from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six in base models (379 hp) to a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six in the GT3 (502 hp). Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S and a top speed of up to 205 mph.

For exotic car collectors, the 992 holds appeal due to limited-run editions like the 911 Dakar, with only 2,500 units produced, and the GT3 RS, celebrated for its track-focused engineering. Historical significance lies in its evolution of the 911’s rear-engine design, maintaining a legacy since 1963. Value trends show strong appreciation for rare variants, with low-mileage Turbo S and GT3 models often commanding premiums above MSRP in the secondary market, reflecting high demand among enthusiasts and investors.
